We are sending a couple future big-league coaches to school:

Ernesto Ramos (R-Pitching Coach): Teach Pitching +50 (or less??? Not sure the scale!)
Gilberto Nunez (A-Hitting Coach): Teach Hitting +50

One doing good, everyone else frustrated.

I'll be doing the Podcaster of the Year piece. I'll see how the next couple days go before I bite off a division preview, but if no one steps up and I have time, I'll do one. And for the new guys, the Media Guide is a place where there is no wrong content...well, within only limited boundaries, I su...

Timing is everything!

Just bumping...I'm hoping to be back home as early as Monday, and hopefully back to active again.

So, as a reminder.

Silver linings.

BO knows?

There goes the neighborhood.

I'm sure they don't.

To be clear, I have no real idea if this is wose or not.

Right. The core ratings themselves should not really change heavily, at least that's the goal.

That said, they are being shifted from the 200 point scale to the 500 point scale, to the fidelity of the match could shift things on the output side a little.

I think it's saying that (for example) the 4 players that had 11 Power in OOTP 24 (and were probably all 80s) averaged dropping 2.5 points of Potential. For example:

Player 1: 80 > 80
Player 2: 80 > 80
Player 3: 80 > 75
Player 4: 80 > 75

Would average a 2.5 Potential drop.

Great job.

Hey. Did we switch to relative ratings along with the switch to 25?

The conversion to the 1-500 scale, and their associated performance rates, was done in a way that re-normalized the ratings themselves.

Yeah...what is the scale of potential loss? Points on the 20-80 scale?

Perfect.

Random thought of the moment:

Per Alan's chart there are 725 players that v25 rates "50" or higher. With a perfectly distributed scatter, that works out to 22.65 per team.

Bae Pae rose to a 7. As Kurt noted, the meaning of "contact" has now changed to be "Batting Average Without HR." So, in reality, it's a Bad Idea to compare contact in the two versions because they mean different things. That said, Bae Pae's Contact grew because he's a very poor Power hitter relativ...
